[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I don't follow the racist thing and it's the second time now this thread. Is someone trying to say it's racist to make generalizations about WASPS? Are they being facetious? [/quote]
Just replace JEW or BLACK where they say WASP. Racist? Of course it is. [/quote]

I don’t think any Jews would be offended if someone complained about how messy latkes are. Same with fried okra or other soul food.

I dont think anyone was saying WASP food was messy, doubt anyone would care.  More like they were saying WASPs are stingy and awful.  I'm sure a Jewish person or person of any ethnic heritage would be offended to be called that.[/quote]

My ancestors (dad's side) are scots Presbyterians who have been kicking around in America since before the revolutionary war.

I'll take one for the team: calling WASPs stingy /= to calling Jews stingy

What measurable harm have WASPs suffered from a cultural stereotype that they are stingy? So little as to not be measurable-people may make jokes, maybe individual non-WASPs don't care for WASPs.
What measurable harm have Jews suffered from a cultural stereotype that they are stingy? Jews have been persecuted throughout time and place, pushed into professions involving money, and then despised, expelled, murdered because of those stereotypes.

Regardless, it's still not okay.  People really need to stop showing their ass and making disgusting, disparaging stereotypes about large groups of people.  It's 2020 people.  Not a good look. [/quote]

I am the OP of this question and this is where I was leading.  It seems the fact alone that we are aknowleging different types of white people by using the term WASP (aside from the obvious fact whites aren't oppressed) makes it not racist.[/quote]
